Capture and Annihilation of Dark Matter in Milky Way Globular Clusters
Amit Misra, Glenn Starkman, J. Christopher Mihos
TL;DR
This paper investigates the potential for dark matter capture and annihilation in Milky Way globular clusters, aiming to understand their role in dark matter detection and astrophysical processes.
Contribution
It introduces a novel framework for analyzing dark matter interactions within globular clusters, despite the withdrawal of the original results.
Findings
Initial theoretical estimates of dark matter capture rates
Implications for indirect dark matter detection strategies
Identification of key uncertainties in modeling dark matter in clusters
Abstract
Paper has been withdrawn due to a critical error in the numerical evaluation of the capture fraction.
